Abstract

A method of dynamically displaying content to an audience is disclosed. The method includes displaying content to the audience wherein at least a portion of the audience is proximate a display means, capturing a plurality of responses from the audience, aggregating the plurality of responses and dynamically updating the displayed content based on the aggregated plurality of responses.

Claims

1. A method of dynamically displaying content to an audience comprising:

displaying content to the audience wherein at least a portion of the audience is proximate a display means;

capturing a plurality of responses from the audience;

aggregating the plurality of responses; and

dynamically updating the displayed content based on the aggregated plurality of responses.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the content comprises a plurality of questions related to a predetermined topic.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein capturing the plurality of responses further comprises implementing vision-based techniques.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein capturing the plurality of responses further comprises utilizing audio input from the audience.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the content further comprises a web-based presentation wherein at least a portion of the audience is remotely located.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein aggregating the plurality of responses further comprises aggregating a predetermined level of a particular response.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein dynamically updating the displayed content further comprises changing the displayed content in real time.

8. A computer program product for dynamically displaying content to an audience, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program means for causing a computer to perform the steps of:

displaying content to the audience wherein at least a portion of the audience is proximate a display means;

capturing a plurality of responses from the audience;

aggregating the plurality of responses; and

dynamically updating the displayed content based on the aggregated plurality of response.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the content comprises a plurality of questions related to a predetermined topic.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of responses further comprises implementing vision-based techniques.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein capturing the plurality of responses further comprises utilizing audio input from the audience.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the content further comprises a web-based presentation wherein at least a portion of the audience is remotely located.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein aggregating the plurality of responses further comprises aggregating a predetermined level of a particular response.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein dynamically updating the displayed content further comprises changing the displayed content.

15. A system for dynamically displaying content to an audience comprising:

a display means for displaying a content to the audience;

detection means coupled to the display means for detecting a plurality of responses from the audience wherein at least a portion of the audience is proximate a display means; and

a content server coupled to the detection means and the display means for aggregating the plurality of response and dynamically updating the content based on the plurality of responses.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the display means is capable of simultaneously displaying a plurality of different content.

17. The system of claim 15 wherein the detection means further comprises visual based detection means.

18. The system of claim 15 wherein the detection means further comprises a web-based detection means.

19. The system of claim 15 wherein the detection means further comprises a audio-based detection means.

20. The system of claim 15 wherein aggregating the plurality of responses further comprises aggregating a predetermined level of a particular response.
